US Attacks Venezuela: Is Mexico Next? Soberanía 90
In episode 90 of Soberania, hosts José Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth confront a watershed moment for Latin America: the U.S. military attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro.
The hosts dissect the attack as a stark escalation of U.S. intervention, breaking down the dubious legal pretexts used to justify it and the severe breach of international law. They unpack the geopolitical fallout, from Mexico’s firm defense of sovereignty to what this move signals about Washington’s broader aims in Latin America.
José Luis and Kurt also take aim at the media narratives and commentators who helped pave the way for the crisis.
